“The Writer’s Writer”

MAKE EVERY WORD COUNT

Gary Provost's Make Every Word Count is a guide to assist writers of both fiction and nonfiction. Topics include: style, use of jargon, avoiding cliches, tone, intention, characterization, credibility, description, dialogue, viewpoints, and many more. This book will help you speak to the reader in his or her own language and control their reaction.

For aspiring novelists, this book examines every secret, every facet of storytelling, from narrative hooks to fulfilling climaxes. With an outstanding array of examples, you can learn to master the cornerstones of great writing. Step by step. (Originally, published by Writer's Digest Books. Now available to writers in ebook format from online booksellers.)

A mixture of journalism and entertainment, the true crime story falls somewhere between a novel and a newspaper story. With six published true crime books to his credit, Gary also (literally) wrote the book on this genre for aspiring writers who want to learn how to turn real-life crimes into compelling stories.

The Freelance Writer's Handbook contains a wealth of information on leads, query letters, markets and making money off of writing. This had been THE little manual for freelancers . . . back in the day.
